Sharkbite/cash Acme 30YE50V048B Gas Connector 48 Inches

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 30YE50V048B is a thermal excess flow gas connector designed for residential and light commercial gas appliance installations. This connector features an epoxy-coated stainless steel construction with a 1/2 inch MIP inlet, a tapped 3/8 inch FIP x 1/2 inch MIP configuration, and a 48-inch flexible tube with fittings included. The thermal excess flow valve is a critical safety component that automatically shuts off gas flow when excess flow is detected, such as during a connector failure or line break. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This gas connector is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for a wide range of appliance hookups including ranges, dryers, water heaters, and similar gas-fired equipment. The 15/16-16 thread specification, 1/2 inch inner diameter, and 5/8 inch outer diameter tube dimensions allow for straightforward connection to standard gas supply lines and appliance inlets in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the IFGC. Shut off the gas supply at the meter or nearest shutoff valve before beginning work and verify zero pressure before making any connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings; use an appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for gas service on all male threads. Never reuse a gas connector that has been kinked, stretched, or previously installed.
